  • The Parentage of Anne Henzey
    The Parentage of Anne Henzey On July 1st, 1675 “Mr Samuel Ward, Rector of Strensham & Mrs Anne Henzey of Amblecoat in ye parish of Oldswinford” were married at Pedmore, Worcestershire. Their Marriage Allegation, dated 23 Jun 1675, gives further information: “Mr Samuel Warde Rector of Strensham ... aged 34 years or thereabouts a Batchelor ...[and] Anne Henzey of the parish of Oldswinford ... aged 20 years or thereabouts and a maiden their parents livinge on both sides and to the intended marriage consenting ...” Samuel and Anne Ward had three children, two daughters, Ann and Elizabeth, baptised in 1676 and 1678, and one son, Paul, baptised and buried in 1680. Family naming patterns suggest that Ann would be the name of the wife’s mother, or less commonly that of the husband’s mother, and that Paul would be the name of the husband’s father, or less commonly that of the wife’s father, particularly if the wife’s father was wealthy. The only one of these names to appear in Samuel Ward’s family before 1680 was Elizabeth, which was the name of his sister-in-law and niece. Samuel’s parents, both of whom were living in Coventry in 1675, were named Samuel and Joan. 1 It can therefore be established that Anne Henzey was probably born between June 1654 and June 1655, that she came from Amblecoat in the parish of Oldswinford, Worcestershire, and that both her parents were living in 1675. It is also probable that the names Paul and Anne appeared in the family, possibly as Anne’s parents.

  • A Cornerstone of the Historical Landscape
    Stourbridge's Western Boundary: A cornerstone of the historical landscape by K James BSc(Hons) MSc PhD FIAP (email: [email protected]) The present-day administrative boundaries around Stourbridge are the result of a long and complex series of organizational changes, land transfers and periods of settlement, invasion and warfare dating back more than two thousand years. Perhaps the most interesting section of the boundary is that to the west of Stourbridge which currently separates Dudley Metropolitan Borough from Kinver in Staffordshire. This has been the county boundary for a millennium, and its course mirrors the outline of the medieval manors of Oldswinford and Pedmore; the Domesday hundred of Clent; Anglo-Saxon royal estates, the Norman forest of Kinver and perhaps the 7th-9th century Hwiccan kingdom as well as post-Roman tribal territories. The boundary may even have its roots in earlier (though probably more diffuse) frontiers dating back to prehistoric times. Extent and Description As shown in figure 1, the boundary begins at the southern end of County Lane near its junction with the ancient road (now just a rough public footpath) joining Iverley to Ounty John Lane. It follows County Lane north-north-west, crosses the A451 and then follows the line of Sandy Lane (now a bridleway) to the junction of Sugar Loaf Lane and The Broadway. Along with County Lane, this section of Sandy Lane lies upon a first-century Roman road that connected Droitwich (Salinae) to the Roman encampments at Greensforge near Ashwood. Past Sugar Loaf Lane, the line of the boundary diverges by a few degrees to the east of the Roman road, which continues on in a straight line under the fields of Staffordshire towards Newtown Bridge and Prestwood.

Other content coutesy of Carl Higgs. A page from Sedgley Manor Court Books, dated 2nd Sept. 1729, showing an inventory of the effects, goods and chattels taken on the death of widow Ann Turton (died 6th Feb. 1728). A page from Sedgley Manor Court Books, dated 2nd Sept. 1729, showing an inventory of the effects, goods and chattels taken on the death of widow Ann Turton (died 6th Feb. 1728). Inventories such as this often accompanied wills at this date, and are a window into the lives of our ancestors, as they list personal and everyday household items alongside other property. They can exist even where no last will or testament was made. The inventory itself is written in English, though at this date the rest of the wording was still in Latin. A document pertaining to a transfer of a half share in the profits arising from tolls collected for the Sedgley 'Old Line of Road' between Sarah Hall and Abel Fletcher, dated 3rd January 1856. Sarah Hall was the widow of Benjamin Hall, a wheelwright and barrow maker who died in 1851 aged just 39. They had been renting a cottage near the corner of Bilston Street and High Street from Abel Fletcher who had his steam flour mill there. Sarah evidently owned a half share in the interest from the tolls, while Mary Ann Sherwood named in the deed (a relative of Sarah's husband) owned the other half share.

  • Picaresque Picturesque
    Picaresque picturesque Dudley Zoo by Tecton and Berthold Lubetkin Karolina Szynalska May 2010 2 Walking around Dudley zoo on a fresh spring morning; I was contemplating pleasing decay. In 1825 Thomas Atkins and George Wombwell, Wild Beast Merchants , were both exhibiting their menagerie collections in London at Bartholomew fair. Wombwell had to travel from Newcastle, where he had been exhibiting prior to the fair. It took ten days of gruelling travel, which resulted in the unhappy event of Wombwell’s prize exhibit, his elephant, dying of exhaustion on arrival. Atkins responded to this by advertising the only living Elephant at the fair . Wombwell countered – the only dead Elephant at the fair! , exhibited the dead monster, and did much better business than Atkins. The lifeless creature appeared to be a greater attraction than the living one. Decay is attractive (or even cathartic). Pleasing decay is a part of the vocabulary of English romantic painting Those people who have no eye for it say that it indicates a decay of the mind to dwell on it; those who have an eye for it say that a weathered building can symbolize the whole of man’s relation to nature (Piper 1947: 85). Those who can see it and celebrate it are romantic. Piper believed that a big factor of the picturesque movement was an expression of the Romantic fuss about pleasing decay (Piper 1947: 85-87). He sought, however, to draw a firm distinction between a ruin and pleasant decay. Not all decay can be pleasing. A description opposite to pleasing is ridiculous , which the Duchess of Marlborough used to describe John Vanburgh’s (1664 – 1726) famous proposal to retain the old ruined manor as a feature in the landscape of the new Blenheim Palace.
